Do schools frown upon sending your LOR's directly to the school vs. sending them through AADSAS? My LOR's will be ready a few weeks after I have already submitted my application. Therefore, I would rather not send them to AADSAS and have them take a couple extra weeks to send them out...my file will be completed more quickly if I send them directly to the schools. Do the dental schools not like this? Or is it okay if I do this 😕

Just make sure that you send in any materials after schools have started their admissions process. Most schools are alright with this - just be sure that you have your recommendors reference your SS# and AADSAS applicant number if possible. There is a link in the Links of Interest thread at the top of the forum for all of the U.S. and Canadian dental schools and it specifies when each one opens up, along with any fees and additional material that may be required. For example some start on June 1st while others in July. If you send them anything prior to those dates you run the risk of having them toss it out.

when u send LOR through AADSAS will they make copies of them and send them to each school you applied to? How does it work? It seems kind of odd to ask your teacher for like 10 copies

You could use interfolio, which requires your professors to only write one letter and then you can send them out individually and confidentially to each school for $5. As to whether this is favorable, I don't know, but this is a good question.
